We taught we were scammed as the instructions to enter the building wasnt provided right away even though I said to the owner that we might possibly check in early as we arrive at Edinburgh lunchtime (we came to the property 1834H). I think its better to provide a clear instruction prior the guest coming in so that it wont be frustrating. The moulds/limescale build up at the toilet specially at the shower room needs to be sorted. It has been said several times previously but it still exist there. My husband, mom in law and daughter got bad runny nose & cough on our 1st night of stay. Therefore it can really affect your health if left exposed for so long. Apart from that, some of the fixtures really need a proper fixing. I dont think it is being considered as serious thing since it was being mentioned several times by the previous renters but I hope it will be changed. The doorknobs, the vinyl flooring and some chairs needs proper repair for safety purposes. Actually the property has a potential if it will be given a chance by the owner for improvement. Also, since we got 3 double beds including at the dining or entertainment area, we do hope next time there is also a sofa if possible so that it can also be a lounge. Location is really far from the city centre. Therefore we spent around 150£ for the total cost of our cab back n forth in our 3 days of stay in Edinburgh. We cant afford to walk and commute a lot since we are both with a wee one and an elderly but if we got a car, I think this is actually good place to considerate.

We like that each room or facility was very spacious. It was peaceful even if it was located nearby the road. We also appreciate that the heaters were all working well with hot and clean water. The washer is efficient and new. The stove, microwave, toaster and kettle works properly well too. It was clean even the fridge itself. There were fresh flowers too at the kitchen and dining table! The beds were all clean and lovely to sleep with. No bedframes broken! What we most liked during our stay is that the owner left some food such as sandwiches, bread with 2 spreads (we didnt open), cereals and drinks (milk, orange and water) for us to consume for the 3 days and 2 nights of stay. This is very helpful especially for us travelling with a little one (3y.o) and a senior. The Owner himself is very kind and easy to speak with by the way.

Some doors need attention e.g. handles, stoppers etc. Small things like little molding around one of the bathrooms.

Overall very good experience. The flat was quite clean & spacious. We had a comfortable stay.

The accommodation was dirty, the towels were damp and hanging on a clothes horse in the kitchen. There was a very musty smell in all the rooms. The table and chairs are in a bedroom and none in the kitchen. Two of the bedrooms had no chairs or bedside tables, and in one, the bedside lamp (on the floor) didn't work. All the beds were very uncomfortable. The bedsheets were old and stained. The shower was dirty. The door handle to the shower room was broken and came away from the door. The lino in the shower room and the bathroom was worn. The lid on the toilet in the shower room was broken and the general fixtures were well worn and dirty. The whole accommodation was bare with no pictures or decoration, and the flowers left in one of the bedrooms were almost dead. I had to leave all my clothes on the ironing board as I didn't want them touching the floor. Overall, the place looked like no one had stayed there for a long time, and the general lack of care and comfort was very, very poor.

The rooms were horrible, the door knobs were broken, everything was so dirty and there was always some weird dusty smell. When we complained to the property manager about the conditions of the property, he mentioned "it is old and cheap flat that's why it is like this" There was a chocolate bar in a hole that was in one of the bedrooms. I would recommend the property manager to fix the apartment. Not recommended to stay.

The Breakfast was good, the bread was fresh and there were many things available for breakfast. They also kept bottled water which was good. The kitchen was good and had all the facilities.

He canceled my reservation. Didn't refund my payment. Never again. I call it fraud cuz he knew he wasn't going to refund so why cancel my reservation. Never again

He cancelled the booking because I asked a question, and he said he travels every time, and he doesn't ask questions and went ahead to cancel my reservation. Strange

The apartment has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a kitchen. Bedroom #1 had moldy smell and a double bed that lacked critical frame components, making it wobbly. Moreover, it was glued with a glue gun rather than properly put together, as you see in the photos. I didn't even try to lie on it because it would simply fall apart. Dirt underneath was the smallest concern. Bedroom #2 had a bed which had two of its metal middle legs torn away, making the bed - similarly - broken, unusable and unsafe to use. Bedroom #3 was ok. Kitchen ok but overall the apartment was rather dirty. Walls had holes in them, pieces of furniture were broken. When I messaged the host about the beds the reply was that I was expecting "royal conditions" for the price I paid (for the record - ca. 350GBP for a one-night stay). Sorry, but beds that are not falling apart is not "expecting royal conditions", regardless of the price. In the end the host said he would refund the stay but didn't hold his promise as the refund never came. The whole apartment is heavily underinvested and the owner/host simply doesn't care. Broken beds, mold smell isn't something you may overlook as a host - this is a sign you simply don't care at all.

There wasn't much that I liked really, maybe only the easy key pickup process and the fact that there is a parking area by the building. Location isn't great but that wasn't a surprise, and doesn't matter if you have a car anyway.

One of the beds was broken before we got there, there were wet towels in the entryway, the whole apartment smelled of smoke, the floors were dirty, and there were white stains on the sheets! In addition, check-in was an uncomfortable process of waiting in front of the door and having to add the host on WhatsApp because he refused to message through booking.com. We waited outside with our luggage for about fifteen minutes trying to figure out how to get in and waiting for his response.

The host stocked the fridge with food and water for us.

This property requires much needed attention. The door locks needs fixing as noise from unlockable doors were a constant irritation disturbing sleep. The water mixer in the en-suite sink is broken so we couldn’t use it anytime. The beds really need replacement as they’re not use worthy. The little struts supporting middle of one bed gave way and gave kids a scare of lifetime, again disturbing sleep on the last night.

Good location. Enough space for the family.

Mattresses on beds were very uncomfortable

Amenities provided were great Very spacious apartment Easy bus links to city centre and attractions East access to grocery stores

Needed a last minute accommodation, was very grateful to find this place. Received videos on how to get into the apartment and where to find the keys, so we didn't have to rush for check-in. As breakfast included - there was food and drinks left for us in the fridge. We were also able to park for free behind the building. Thank you!
